More quotes by Matthew McConaughey
Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you get good at.
Matthew McConaughey
Life is not fair, it never was and it is now and it won't ever be. Do not fall into the trap. The entitlement trap, of feeling like you're a victim. You are not.
Matthew McConaughey
I like quips. I like whiffs of cynicism and I think they can be witty. But I don't really know where wittiness is constructive.
Matthew McConaughey
A foolish man... built his house upon the sand.
Matthew McConaughey
I hated repeating myself. The last films I've done - not once did I ever have the feeling that I was dialing it in.
Matthew McConaughey
For me, one of the toughest things about Valentine's Day is that it gets geared up as the day to profess your love. See, T-E-S-T - that's a bad word that doesn't go with L-O-V-E.
Matthew McConaughey
I tell myself I bear witness. The real answer is that it's obviously my programming. And I lack the constitution for suicide.
Matthew McConaughey
I know who I am. And after all these years, there's a victory in that.
Matthew McConaughey
Every hero doesn't do this great big hero thing. They do the simple thing over and over... and they stick to it.
Matthew McConaughey
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew McConaughey
Romantic comedies are built to be light. They're built for a certain buoyancy.
Matthew McConaughey
Cameras aren't guns. They can't really hurt you.
Matthew McConaughey
They eat, they crap, they sleep, and if they're crying they need to do one of the three and they're having trouble doing it. Real simple.
Matthew McConaughey
I like the 'Alive' part. Now I've made it. Wait until you see the roles I could take after this. You're going to see my gut hanging over, plus 22lbs. It'll be a whole new kind of sexy!
Matthew McConaughey
Yes, it is the Big Easy, home of the shortest hangover on the planet, where libation can greet you on Monday morning with the same smile as it did on Saturday night.
Matthew McConaughey
I like to be directed, but when I'm flying and I'm on fire, I don't want someone coming and getting in my way just because they feel like they need to.
Matthew McConaughey
The one thing that will be the bane of my existence with my kid will probably be the way he or she is most like me in some ways.
Matthew McConaughey
Each of the films, whether it’s Magic Mike or Dallas Buyers Club, was a challenge for me. I had to dig deeper. Also, my decision to shake things up came after my first child was born. I had taken nearly two years off and I thought that I would enjoy my time as a dad and wait until something interesting came along.
Matthew McConaughey
I love Los Angeles, and it's been very good to me, but if everyone is running around telling the stories, who's living them? You don't play characters that are celebrities - you play guys who know what to do when their septic tank's blocked.
Matthew McConaughey
I never go online on my iPhone. Sometimes I'm tempted but I remind myself and the kids - it's a tool. Use it as a tool. You're not the tool. My iPhone, 85% of the time I'm writing down ideas.
Matthew McConaughey
